How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Sarita Rafferty
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

I mean - as with most talk shows on right now . Maury is just another dime a dozen piece of garbage. Just like with Springer, Geraldo , Jenny Jones etc. The same chair throwing, cussing garbage. Who's the father , who cheated on who. I mean whats the point. Anyone could produce and direct it. I used to watch Springer when it was new and laugh at the stupidity but after several years of that crap - I stopped watching. Oprah while it may seem a bit heavy at times is at least serious and doesn't have an audience that chants her name and guests who they get off the street. Even Ellen is a better show to watch. The trash talk TV shows with guests who look like streetwalkers ,total nobodys and themes of who did you and whos the father are just reaching for shock value. Total Garbage

Oh my and I thought Jerry Springer was bad. This show takes the cake. I can think of so many things I can do during the course of an hours time than to watch a program about a bunch of lowlifes who are out having sex and getting people pregnant, and then putting themselves on national television with the cute little kid on screen behind them so Maury can announce the DNA results of who the kid belongs to. I guess I should not be surprised but in a way I am that the guests (if you can call them that) are able to get any kind of recognition for their pathetic behavior. And what happens to the kids once the DNA results are in? The people that come on this program are not fit to be parents or even engage in sexual acts. But this is what TV has become in America. Which is an endless string of programs that does nothing to inform or educate the public. And whats scary is that is what a lot of the public wants...

I have never been a regular fan of Maury, all of these talk shows seem to be so much the same to me that I can never get myself to sit in front of the TV for an entire episode. I have seen episodes in the past that are really interesting and helpful to people, and Maury seems to be more caring and generous than a lot of these talk show hosts (except Oprah and Montel Williams, but Montel is so cheesy and goofy that I almost can't handle him at all). But a lot of times there are just genuinely trashy people on the show (and like Springer, sometimes the stories are so preposterous that it's hard to believe that they're not acting). And here's the thing that really gets to me, whenever I see one of these outrageous shows, the reactions and behavior of the audience suggest that they're not much different.I just saw a show, for example, about 13 and 14-year-old girls that are having sex, desperately trying to have babies for whatever reason. Their desperate mothers have brought them on the show for help convincing them to wait until later in life to have children. One girl, a 14-year-old who had already contracted 2 venereal diseases (from the same guy, incidentally – sounds like a real winner….), explained that she had no one and only wanted a friend. When she came out on stage in tears, the audience loudly booed her. What a bunch of total dirtbags, man. Here's this 14-year-old girl who's confused about life and they taunt and boo her on her way onto the stage. I hope the majority of Maury's audience wouldn't react that way, because if so, I will happily exclude myself from that little group! But the other thing is that the audience was probably responding to one of those "Applause" prompts, in which case it was the show that asked her to give that girl that response, and if that is what happened, can you really say that the show is doing the best it can to help people? I like to think that the majority of the shows are meant to be educational and informative, but there are certainly times when Maury slips up and gives us some bottom-of- the-barrel trash entertainment, and we just don't need any more of that on American TV. And don't get me started on the paternity test episodes!Incidentally, on the show with the girls who wanted to have babies in their early teens, the Maury show was nice enough to give the girls the opportunity to take care of a real baby for 24 hours. Needless to say, they all miraculously changed their minds, and everyone clapped and cheered and went home happy while the producers were no doubt planning the next show – "Mothers Who Rent Out Their Babies!"

This show is the most despicable piece of TV trash I have ever seen. I've been to almost 40 countries, and whenever I can I try to watch some of the local TV programmes. I've seen lots of low quality material. When I was in the US recently, I had the dubious pleasure of enjoying a few Maury shows. How anyone can voluntarily appear on this show is beyond me. From the moment the guest appears on stage it is absolutely clear he will either a) make an ass out of himself b) be ridiculed by the audience c) will receive faked sympathy and compassion by Mr Povichor rather all of the above.The show seems to be all about paternity tests. Apparently there is a choreography to this charade. The couples will abuse each other, the male will insist on not having fathered the baby, the mother will protest against the male's inability to care for the child and so on. Upon hearing the result of the paternity test, the male will either dance and scream in joy or start cursing.The guests on the show seem to be very well aware of the mechanisms of this program, probably being frequent consumers of the show themselves. So being part of this circus freak show seems to be a kind of acknowledgment or even gratification to those people.And amidst this puddle of low social class tragedy sits, like a king dressed in beggars' clothes, Mr. Maury Povich and pretends to have compassion towards these poor sods. Mr. Povich must be a very clever businessman to have run the show for such a long period. Respect to that! But anyone who is to believe he actually cares about what is happening to the people on his show is a dimwit.Bottomline: inhuman charade
